معرفی
David W. McCauley is an Associate Professor at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Oklahoma. His research focuses on neural crest evolution, vertebrate development, and genetic control strategies for invasive species like the sea lamprey in the Great Lakes. He holds a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin and a BS from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Research Interests:
- Evolutionary mechanisms underlying vertebrate head skeleton and nervous system development
- Functional genetics in the sea lamprey as a model for early vertebrate evolution
- Genetic approaches for managing invasive species through genome modification
Recent work bridges evolutionary developmental biology with applied conservation strategies, emphasizing comparative studies between jawed and jawless vertebrates. His lab employs molecular genetics and embryology techniques to uncover ancestral developmental pathways.
